The LFS coordinator will be responsible for leading the implementation and reporting of all LFS projects in the Central/East Region (primarily Kabul, Parwan, Kapisa, Panjshir, Logar, Khost, Paktia, Jalalabad, Kunar and Laghman provinces). This will include managing the LFS team, managing budgets, ensuring that project activities and M&E data collection are being implemented on schedule; and regularly discussing ideas for project improvement or challenges with the Central Area Program Manager and LFS Specialist.
The LFS coordinator will be expected to spend at least 50% of his / her time in the field, support the field teams in the overall management of agricultural private sector livelihood projects, including climate resilience and drought response activities.
The project manager is expected to focus more on integrated projects with other sectors (core competency) within the NRC.
